The Impossible Man and The Impossibles

 

This would certainly be a meta issue to read. I had to make a couple of group shots to get this one to work.  Here's a clearer look at the back cover of the comic that Impy is reading above:

Question. who is the Lady I only remember the three men.

She was Cobalt Blue and had magnetic powers. She was added in the DC Comic series Future Quest. Future Quest was from around 2016 and I vaguely remember enjoying it…in my 40s.

@Anon: So did I. It was loads more fun and thrilling than even the original Crisis On Infinite Earths! Although, Lex Luthor meets Porky Pig was kind of depressing.

@Ross: absolutely brilliant! Not only for the synchronicity of the names. But, also, the infinitely regressive cover of the comic book Impy is reading. Reminds me of an issue of SHAZAM! (when it first got revived by DC in the pre-Bicentennial Seventies).

Maybe 2017’s The Jetsons could have a cover.

I, too, had to do some research to find out about Cobalt Blue. I'd actually love to see more of her, if possible -- like, maybe teaming up with Polaris. I can certainly see where that could be impractical, though, given how little she's actually appeared in any medium.

RALLY-HO!!! What a cover!! Their MISSION will be ...LOVE IT!!

Wait, shouldn't she be Cobalt Woman or something? That breaks the naming convention. Not that they care, of course, but why even add a new character? Kind of misses the point of doing a nostalgia comic.

Maybe the Jetsons could meet Galactus.

You could bring in Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. I don't know if there is a comic image of Ethan Hunt though.

I'd rather see the classic 1967 Impossibles meet Kim Possible.

Man, this made me miss Future Quest all over again...

Didn't DC already have a 'Cobalt Blue' who was Barry Allen's evil twin, stolen away at birth and raised by the criminal Thrawne family... Yes, those Thrawnes, he was actually also an ancestor of Professor Zoom...
